UAE lunches visa amnesty scheme for illegal residents. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has launched a new visa amnesty scheme aimed at addressing the status of foreigners residing illegally in the country.
The scheme is specifically designed for individuals who entered the UAE legally but failed to renew their visas after their initial period of stay expired. The measure allows illegal residents to regularize their status without facing fines or travel restrictions.
According to UAE immigration authorities, the visa amnesty allows these individuals to register themselves and obtain legal residency without facing fines or deportation. The move is part of the UAE’s broader efforts to manage visa-related issues and provide legal status for those who have overstayed their visas.
To support this process, various registration camps have been set up in the UAE. These centers are equipped with all the necessary facilities to smooth the transition to legal residence. The amnesty scheme reflects the UAE’s commitment to address residency issues and offer solutions to those who have stayed in the country beyond their authorized period.
Eligibility Criteria for the Visa Amnesty Scheme
- Individuals with expired visas.
- Tourist visa holders.
- Expired residency visa holders.
- Individuals born without documents.
The UAE government has emphasized that the amnesty program promotes respect for the law, tolerance, compassion, and social cohesion.
It provides a chance for visa and residency violators to correct their status through flexible and easy procedures, enabling them to obtain their rights and exit safely or live and work in the country per the law.
